  4. Add the rice and Cajun seasoning; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring all the rice is moistened.
  6. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
  7. Stir in the cooked chicken, tomatoes, and green onions.
  8. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  9. Top with shredded cheese.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
